Pros
full of smart people, incredible access to resources, great place to learn with lots of opportunities for anyone starting their career at entry level (quickly limiited upon reaching more senior levels).
Cons
leadership (Band 5+) is out of touch with what happens on an execution level and spend most of their speeches seemingly trying to convince themselves that they understand the issues. Above the band 4 level, leaders are very hands-off yet do not empower the lower levels to make decisions leading to an atmosphere of managing through fear, and making decisions so as to avert blame in case of disaster rather than acting in the best interest of the business.. Little to no transparency as to decision making, which is slow and bureaucratic, seemingly purposely slow to the benefit of managers whose personal incentive to stay safe in their jobs is for it to remain this way. Highly averse to change.
